Pat Robertson has expressed yet another controversial point of view, this time on violence and killing in video games.

A clip from an airing of "The 700 Club" show reveals Robertson answering a viewer's question about video games.

The host is asked if the Bible dictates anything when video games and violence in a virtual reality are concerned.

He then answers by admitting to never having played any form of video game, which doesn't stop him from ruling on the issue.

Robertson describes murder in a cyber-space as a "virtual sin," which is not much different from an actual sin. He suggests that your sin, while only existing in a virtual reality, might still be punishable.

"If you're murdering somebody in cyberspace, in a sense you're performing the act," Robertson explains.
